The AirborneM2M™ line of industrial wireless access points is built for networking equipment in an array of machine-to-machine (M2M) applications. AirborneM2M™ Access Point features industrial strength packaging and support a wide temperature rating (-40° to 85°C) to withstand challenging M2M environments. Power options include 5-36VDC input or PoE 802.3af (Power over Ethernet) on select models.

Combination Access Point and Client Capability

The AirborneM2M™ Access Point enables M2M equipment to create a self sufficient Wi-Fi network and easy access to equipment data or resources from WiFi enabled devices. The product also has the capability to be switched from an access point to a client; supporting both a single or dual RS-232/422/485 serial ports or a single 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port. The Ethernet port can be placed into either a router or bridge mode.

Model BB-FOSTCDRI is a premium industrial serial to multi-mode fiber optic converter. Its rugged design is UL Approved and certified for Class 1/Division 2 industrial environments. It extends data communications up to 4 km (2.5 mi). It provides three-way optical isolation on the input, output and power lines.

In addition to direct point-to-point connectivity, it is capable of operating in a multi-drop mode. This allows one serial device to communicate with up to 31 other devices around a fiber ring. Since it supports mixed standards, you can replace other converters and isolators and add the EMI / RFI protection inherent to fiber optic communications.

In RS-232 mode, the converter supports Transmit and Receive data. Handshaking signals are not passed through. An Automatic Send Data Control circuit controls the RS-422/485 driver chip, eliminating the requirement for external software.

Easy to install and configure, it has a 12-position DIP switch on the bottom to configure RS-422/485 parameters. Serial data and power cables connect to removable terminal blocks. ST connectors are used for the fiber.

A 10-30 VDC external power source is required (power supply not included, sold separately).

Model BB-FOSTCDRI-INV features an "inverted fiber state" and is suitable for applications requiring the fiber optic transmit light to be Off in the idle state.

The EKI-1200 series Modbus gateways are bi-directional gateways for integrating new and existing Modbus/RTU and Modbus/ASCII serial devices to newer TCP/IP networked-based devices. The EKI-1221/1222/1224 feature two independent Ethernet ports and MAC addresses to provide redundancy and reliability. They provide a simple and cost-effective way to bring remote management and data accessibility to thousands of devices that cannot otherwise connect to a network. The EKI-1221/1222/1224 allow users to select master or slave operation mode for each serial port. In addition to allowing an Ethernet master to control serial slaves, they also allow serial masters to control Ethernet slaves.
